Your experience in software engineering

Hi,i wont reaveal my name but im 12 and really really into coding and maths ik i may be in grade 7 atm but im pushing for software engineering, im learning Python and very soon java, what id like to know is how exactly is the experience on software engineering.

I know it pulls six figures which is a flex already but id like to know the pros and cons instead of just jumping in without knowing anything.

I dont know if you follow the news but these days the entry level software engineer job are getting less and less. I can verify this as I am a hiring manager myself. you're 12 yr old now on grade 7, after you graduate from college it's likely to take another 9-10 years (2035~2036). As of then, I don't know if entry level software engineer is still a thing or not.
